Regeneration Liverpool, a joint venture between Liverpool City Council and regeneration specialist Sigma Inpartnership Limited, has announced that it will be developing at least five new sites across the city, in addition to its £100 million scheme in Norris Green, where the partnership has already delivered 115 new homes.
The five new areas earmarked for the major regeneration project are the £200 million Stonebridge Cross development, Gateacre former comprehensive school site, Lime Street/Renshaw Street/Knowledge Quarter, Edge Hill District Centre and Lodge Lane baths site. Subject to the necessary consents, initial works will focus on the sites in Stonebridge Cross and Gateacre with a view to commencing in 2012/13.
Stonebridge Cross will comprise 60 acres of land and will provide a new secondary school, a health centre, 600 new homes and retail facilities with a major food store. Gateacre former comprehensive school site will be developed to accommodate around 200 new family homes. Regeneration Liverpool will recycle the value from these new homes directly back into the provision of new educational facilities in the city as well as looking at other City Council priorities.
Regeneration Liverpool will prepare feasibility studies for Lime Street/Renshaw Street/Knowledge Quarter, Edge Hill District Centre and Lodge Lane bath site, which will include a variety of uses including commercial and residential development as well as educational, community and health facilities.
All of the work will be delivered under Regeneration Liverpool, which Sigma Inpartnership formed with Liverpool City Council in 2007 to support the Council with its ambitious long term regeneration strategy for the city. The partnership will utilise the skills of local specialist partners including house builder Countryside Properties, commercial developer Neptune Developments, Plus Dane and other local housing associations.
